October 15: ETSII, Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática. 2ª planta. Sala Multiusos.
Avda Reina Mercedes s/n, Sevilla, Spain
This workshop is considered continuation of the session of the
same name LODY2026
within CMD32
the 32th General Conference of the Condensed-Matter Division of the
European Physical Society-75h Conference of the Austrian Physical
Society, Graz, Austria, September 2026.
It is focused in localization in classical and quantum physics
including
atomic and particle physics, photonics, condensed matter, matter waves.
See the abstract below.
The workshop honours Dr.
Larissa Brizhik, head of the Condensed Matter Department at BITP, Kiev,
for her scientific trayectory, including Ilya Prigonine Award, and also
as a symbol of the scientists who continue doing research in Ucraine
during the war.
Dr. Brizhik will also have a general public talk and Q&A: Questions and answers about war, life,
science and scientists.
We acknowledge partial
support from IMUS, the Instituto
de Matemáticas de la Universidad de
Sevilla and National project: MICIU/AEI PID2022-138321NB-C22.

Abstract:
Solitons are ubiquitous examples of spatial localization, often in
movement. They include discrete breathers as envelope
solitons. Striking examples in water are tsunamis and bores, but
they appear in many other systems as optical waveguides, Josephson
junction arrays, Bose-Einstein condensates, matter waves, and
biological molecules, to name a few. Solitons appear both in
theory, classical and ab-initio nonlinear dynamics, and experiments.
They often have long lives, which may hinder heat evacuation in tokamak
fusion reactors. Polarons and solectrons consist of a charge bounded to
a local deformation and/or localized vibrational modes. They are often
described using semi-classical models within the tight-binding
approximation. Localization can also be in momentum as q-breathers, or
in time, as rogue waves. Metamaterials allow for the engineering of
especial properties including solitons. With time modulation, time
crystals appear, as proposed by Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek in 2012.
Space-time metamaterials bring about new properties of localized
excitations that appear within the frequency or momentum
bandgaps. Electrons have also been described as topological
solitons with Coulomb and Lorenz forces as a consequence, in this way,
expanding the soliton concept to particle physics. This workshop intends to review recent advances and unify theories
and approaches.
